A UFO was seen over Hawaii near the Mauna Kea Observatories. I am an inactive licensed private airplane pilot with fair vision. I have studied aviation weather and am an amateur astronomer. I was walking on Jade Ave. in Volcano, Hawaii at approximately 19:35. I saw what appeared to be a classic disc shaped UFO hovering between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. My vision is not the best and this could have been a lenticular cloud. The sun had set and the sky was clear. There was just one UFO and the color appeared to be gray. The event lasted perhaps five minutes. I have seen strange objects which appear to be shooting stars (space junk?) on a few times before over that area. There are a military base, and astronomical observatories in that area.
